Have you ever heard the term "like a broken record"?
Still, what's that all add up to, about a month of the war in Iraq? I don't see a very balanced perspective either, since you don't list any of the obvious benefits that illegals bring to our economy.
Here's a WSJ interview of two leading economists that discusses the overall benefit to the economy, even considering the CIS study you cite:
http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB115100948305787940-TJNnUzuAoQ5arQXq jeFdXkOquLo_20070626.html
"Economists agree that the immigration generates a small net economic benefit for the U.S. and in doing so redistributes income from workers to owners of capital and land. Perhaps this is why immigration is such a political hot potato; it's mostly a distribution issue and, for governments that are in the business of redistributing income via taxes and subsidies, regulating immigration is another redistribution tool."
So given that truth, that illegals actually general a small net economic benefit for the U.S., why do you have such a problem with them? Did you lose a job to them? Did they bruise your strawberries? Your obsessive off-topic whining is a bit weird.

Texas State Lawmaker Opposing Deadly Force Bill Shoots Would-Be Thief Monday, July 09, 2007
HOUSTON - A state lawmaker who opposed a bill giving Texans stronger right to defend themselves with deadly force pulled a gun and shot a man he says was trying to steal copper wiring from a construction site, police said Monday.
Rep. Borris Miles told police he was fixing a leak on the second floor of the Houston house he's building Sunday night when he heard a noise downstairs and saw two men trying to steal the copper. After Miles confronted the pair, one of the men threw a pocketknife at him, Houston Police spokesman Victor Senties.
Miles, a former law enforcement officer, shot the man in the left leg, police said. The wounded suspect was being treated at a Houston hospital. Police were trying to identify the other suspect.
Charges of aggravated robbery are pending against the wounded suspect, Senties said.
Police said Miles, who is in his freshman term, is licensed to carry a concealed weapon. No charges have been filed against Miles, Senties said.
Miles, a Democrat, voted against a bill that gives Texans stronger legal right to defend themselves with deadly force in their homes, vehicles, and workplaces. The so-called "castle doctrine," passed by the Legislature this year, states that a person has no duty to retreat from an intruder before using deadly force. The law goes into effect Sept. 1.

Unlike Dennis, I don't obey the law all the time. I jaywalk when I feel like it. I speed, a lot. I even urinate in public from time to time and there are a host of other laws that I'm ready and willing to violate in the right circumstances. But because cops aren't around 24/7, I usually get away with it. Why should illegals be treated any different?
My complaint is that illegals are so afraid of being deported, so afraid of breaking any laws and being noticed by la policia, that they drive too damn slow. But a few slow drivers are a small price to pay for cheap fresh strawberries.
> No mention of the crimes, dope, and toll taken on law enforcement and > prisons. Hardly any different than the legal members of society. Why should illegals be treated any different?
> How much additional aid do the taxpayers of this country give to Mexico > every year? A lot less than they give to Iraq. WTF does Iraq do for our economy? They don't pick our strawberries. We can buy our oil from our Saudi buddies instead, but if we're not growing strawberries on our own soil, we'll be buying them all from Mexico. At least will illegals picking them here, some of the money stays here.

> I though you democrats all stood on the shoulders of unions and such, or are > you just sucking votes while you stab them in the back? Personally, I can't stand unions today. I understand their historical importance, but I'd rather government step in and raise minimum wages and working conditions since the unions don't represent all workers and they tend to overreach.

In this state, the police are not allowed to ask them about their nationality or proof of citizenship, and the state issues drivers licences that state "IDENTITY NOT VERIFIED."

Answer the question once.

> WTF does Iraq do for our economy? Who cares?
Freedom and taking off tyrants in pre-emptive action isnt all about cheap strawberries.
What do you propose we do with Iran and Alphabet?
Wait till he gets a nuke and stars a nuclear exchange with Israel (that he will surely lose)?
The UN and the IEA are absolutely impotent.

Taxpayers and *legal* workers pick up the slack while the shitbags that exploit illegal immigrant labor get more wealthy.
Talk about castles built on sand.
And, comparatively, the illegals do sh.t work.

Got my a.s chewed for picking up a broom and sweeping up an area that was on the verge of being dangerous due to so many chips (metal shavings to you, counselor) and coolant on the floor.
Cost me $130 a month, that I had no choice but to pay, and they never did a f.cking thing for me, or anyone I know.
All I can see is that the democrats talk sh.t, the union shills hoot and holler in a bunch, just before getting sold out for illegal immigrant labor.

The fact is, illegals are just like you and me, except that they were born south of the border. I don't hold that against them if they want to work and I don't consider breaking the law by crossing the border any worse than jaywalking by crossing the street.

Americans, who profit dearly and spend their money in this country on good old capitalist American things like BMWs and Sony big-screen TVs and all that stuff at Wal-Mart that's made in China by children and prisoners.

Taxpayers benefit by being able to afford lower-priced housing than if the contractors all had to pay union wages. By being able to afford housing rather than rent, they even save on taxes. They can also afford to buy fresh meat, poultry, and produce at the grocery store thanks to illegal immigrant farm labor, they can afford to eat out occasionally, thanks to illegal immigrant dishwashers, and they can afford to wear clothes that aren't made in China, thanks to illegal immigrant sweat-shop workers. God bless America.

Better that than having their jobs exported completely. At least they can try to compete with the illegals. How do they compete with someone in India?

It aint food.

Since you belive so strongly in the bullshit you spew, perhaps you would be so magnanimous to provide their defense for free.
Or would you prefer that be at the legal taxpayers expense?
How do you think the cops bothered to look at salal gathering?
Any idea what salal is or what it is used for?
Any idea why a local business would buy it illegally?

I was born here of anscestry that goes back to the 1400's.
Me and mine have worked and paid taxes for better than 600 years.
Mine didnt hop the fence, they filed the paperwork, did their time and came here *legally*.

I dont buy any of that sh.t, and you use it to subvert the law and the overwhelming will of law abiding Americans and Legal immigrants.

No one here is making jam from the sh.t, we have blackberries, blueberries, huckleberries and strawberries (that we pick ourselves).

Floral arrangements are sure worth the local cost to law enforcement, hospitals and tax payers.
Man, how would all those funeral arrangements go off with no salal?
Or, better yet, how would the florists survive without illegal immigrant labor and cheap salal?
You know, work lazy Americans wont do for the wages florists want to pay?

"But the floral market loves salal because the wilt-resistant, leathery 2- to 4-inch-long leaves keep their color for months in cold storage (salal, grasses, moss and huckleberry bushes are at least a $235-million-a-year wholesale market in Washington)."

Obviously you have some nefarious purpose in mind. The only thing I could dig up was: "Glass bottles, furniture, wire, cardboard, waste paper, recycled clothing, beer, bottled water, PVC tubing, blueberries, salal, steel, mushrooms, even chilled fish -- if it crosses the border, smugglers have attempted to use it to conceal shipments of marijuana." But that would make salal no less evil than blueberries.

I use Wal-Mart to subvert the law? I don't even shop there. The fact is that most Americans use products that aren't made here. The Mexican "problem" is a drop in the bucket compared to the real problem of our trade deficit, exported jobs, and wage gap. But it's nice smoke to blow around to confuse people who are easily confused. Get them all riled about about them damn Mexicans taking over all our dishwashing jobs so we can forget about the real problems and do our Wal-Mart shopping with clear consciences.

Are you disagreeing that a very large proportion of restaurant menial workers, meat and poultry processors, produce pickers, and garment industry employees are illegal immigrants? That would be a lie, since it's a fact that they are. If you claim that they're underpaid, then obviously we would have to pay more to get real Americans like you working these jobs. If we have to pay more, wouldn't the services and products cost more? It's not a lie, it's a no-brainer.
> > That's what you get when you found a country based on immigrants. > > *LEGAL* immigrants. > > How does that escape you? So give amnesty to them. Then they'll be legal. No problem. Legal vs. illegal is only a matter of whatever laws are in place. In the good old days, America relied on cheap immigrant labor. Today, America relies on cheap immigrant labor. There's no difference.
> OK, you buy or sell a house made with sh.t work. > > News flash! > > Some people in this nation know the difference, and dont want to buy. Then let them rent.
You're somehow equating illegals with sh.t work. That's hardly the case. Our auto industry didn't take a back seat to Japan because of illegals screwing up the assembly lines in Michigan. It's lazy American sh.t work that put us in the position of having to rely on illegals to get anything decent done around here.
> You hire sh.t labor and sell the product. Apparently you have no pride in > your self, your nation, your brethren, or the product you sell. That's quite a leap. I have plenty of pride in myself. I don't have much pride in the lazy Americans who demand to get overpaid for sh.t work. I certainly don't have much pride in our nation right now after the sh.t that's been done in the name of the Bush Administration. It's actually pretty embarrassing. It's likely that the products I sell are in large part produced by illegal immigrant labor because they are American farm products and American farms would be extinct were it not for heavy government subsidies and the reliance on lots of cheap illegal labor.

"The history of Swedish emigration to America goes further back in time than that of the United States. Swedes started to come in 1638, just eighteen years after the landing of the "MAYFLOWER."

"While the first Polish immigrants arrived in America in 1608 at Jamestown, Virginia, the largest wave of Polish immigration to America occurred in the early 20th century."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_American
"Irish Catholics have been migrating to the US in steady numbers even before the revolution, some as domestic servants or as a result of penal deportations but their numbers increased immensely by the 1820s when mostly males became involved in canal building, lumbering and civil construction works in the Northeast. . . . The primary origin of this large population is centered around a quarter of a million Scots- Irish who fled the economic distress and social upheaval. They emigrated to America primarily before 1776 as subjects of the British Empire moving from one region to another."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_American
"Americans of German descent live in nearly every American county, they have been here for 400 years, from the East Coast, where the first German settlers arrived in the 1600s, to the West Coast and in all the states in between."

That hardly gets you back 600 years. Try again.

When we ran out of slaves, then ex-slaves, then American migrant labor (Great Depression okies) we had to start importing them. But American has always relied on exploitation of cheap labor.
Nowadays China does it better. We have too many liberal bleeding hearts like me whining about the poor workers, while China gets away with forced child and political-prisoner labor. In Vietnam, Reebok can beat their workers when they don't make the shoes just right. Am I allowed to beat my employees even when they come in late? Heck no. That's why this country is rapidly decaying. No discipline.

One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies: 'I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.'
The florist is pleased and leaves the shop. Next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, there is a thank you card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies: 'I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.'
The cop is happy and leaves the shop. Next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a thank you card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Later a Republican comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies: 'I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.'
The Republican is very happy and leaves the shop. Next morning when the barber goes to open, there is a thank you card and a gift certificate for lunch at a nearby restaurant.
Then a Democrat comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies: 'I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.'
The Democrat is very happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen Democrats lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between left and right.

This will allow Ramadan to become a celebration of our winning the battle against the camel fuckin' Bedouin terrorists since they will all be radioactive slag at that time... On the glass field that was once Mecca, I will support Sonny's BBQ in establishing a restaurant there that will only serve BBQ pork since it is an appropriate food for that area...

It's not like it's really important, the country ain't gonna last more than a couple years at this rate anyway.

We all knew that you were trying for urbane sophistication but your French fluency is wanting. Point of fact, and I'll defer to any french speakers here, but I believe there's an idiom for this particular application with just the right scatological content to be admirably suited to rec.scuba. It's actually used in the ballet world but it's too good to pass up for our little group. Besides, isn't it pointless to try for patronization when speaking to any true Frenchman?

IntoGear - 15 Jul 2007 22:58 GMT Fact is... we will never have a livable min wage until the wetbacks stop taking the jobs for less than a citizen will. And as long as there are wetbacks willing to work for less, employers will be firing the citizens and replacing them with wetback labor.
And as for crime... There have been many news reports of the gangs (MS13 being just one) that have been coming over from Mexico to expand their drug business! Google drunk driving deaths and read how many are done by illegal Mexicans that have been caught and deported over and over again.
Drunk driving and beating up your wife no big deal in Mexico... how can you except them to not do it when they squat here?
